January 2014 Update
Well been forever since my last post again, gotta work on that. Alot has happened. I have not been able to go a week without any yelling yet, but I think I am doing better and actually scream less. I continue to try, but it is harder than it sounds when the kids are super loud to not yell over them. I will keep working on that. Also currently kinda wandering for church right now. Decided I did not like Xavier and Martina being so isolated and I always kinda felt isolated there myself, so trying a new one. The one Sunday we went went pretty good. We will see. I think the kids may be able to do this here. I enjoyed it mostly, never easy being in a new place with few to no people you know. But I am handling it OK.
In other news, Andy is a super star in head start. He loves it and is like at the head of the class for everything almost. Can't wait to get hem into kinder next year where they will push him more than they can here. He is an awesome little man who loves to help and who hates to see anyone unhappy, hurt or sick.
David is mad at me alot of time now, he wants to be in real school so bad, but he heads to head start next year, so until then we hang at home. He is as advanced as Andy for the academic stuff, just hoping he is emotionally ready fr school then. He is lots of fun and it is awesome watching all he can do for himself.
Xavier is doing great in school and spends almost half a day in regular class now. He can read whole books and likes to do so. He hates that he does not have a computer to play on at home now, and so do I (my computer died and Daddy does NOT like him on his). He is doing OK with it though.
Martina is getting more difficult I swear and I am so lost with her. She is never focused, though she can tell you what she wants and usually she gets it just to avoid the meltdown from telling her no. That girl can be LOUD. She is supposed to be starting both speech and occupational therapy soon. The occupational therapist sounds awesome. They will be coming to our house for that. The speech therapy will be at a little farm near here, we go there for that. Xavier should be receiving the same services as well. We are also supposed to be getting something called Positive behavior services for Martina only. We will see how that goes.
Anyway just wanted to do a quick update and let everyone know how everything is going.
Thanks.
